This cam will do the trick for you....if you want to step up you will want to get something with wireless mics...I run 2 Panasonic AG-DVC30's. I go alone most of the the time using a gorilla arm treepod to mount my camera....Have fun....I'm doing some professional stuff with Pinnacle Studio editting software ...Its awesome and you will relive your hunts year after year...and your friends and family will love it too....email me with more questions if you have any...
